Hi everyone! Another crazy day. Had to reboot a server, so none of the daily loads worked on development. At least production was ok. Last night was cold and raining for the baseball game. Half of the people my friend invited did not show. Not a good idea, because she had purchased and given us all tickets to the game, reserved the special seating and the food and drinks. (Open bar for wine and beer). I did leave after the 6th inning because otherwise I would have trouble getting up this morning. I did anyway, but it was not as bad as if I had stayed the whole game.
Once again, the x has planned DD17's summer without any input from me, reserving half the weekends, and putting in a claim for another "but we don't know when yet". So, I had to call my parents fast and get dates for our trip and made an executive decision on the camping trip. Doesn't matter who else can or cannot come, the date is set, like it or not. Once again, he made an assumption on when I would be home and available to take DD. As it happens, I am available that weekend, but I don't have to let him know that yet. Here is what I wrote to him:
"I have a question about July 4th. You said you would be driving out the 3rd and Lydia would have to stay with me. What time period do you mean? Evening of the 3rd to Sunday the 7th? Before you rely on me to be in town, you need to check with me. I am not always at home, especially in the summer."
I should probably schedule something out of town (with DD), so when he starts giving me instructions on dog feeding, I'm not available. If he keeps his usual pattern, he will give these instructions the Tuesday before, as he did with our spring break trip. What a shock! I don't plan my life around him!
I have a dentist appointment at 530 and I am not looking forward to it. I am convinced I have cavities and the crown he has been watching for several years is likely to need replacing.
